Song of Songs: 4

He.Sg.4.1-15

1Behold, you are beautiful, my love, behold, you are beautiful!
Your eyes are doves behind your veil.
Your hair is like a flock of goats,
moving down the slopes of Gilead.2Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing,
all of which bear twins,
and not one among them is bereaved.3Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.4Your neck is like the tower of David,
built for an arsenal,
whereon hang a thousand bucklers,
all of them shields of warriors.5Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle,
that feed among the lilies.6Until the day breathes and the shadows flee,
I will hie me to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense.7You are all fair, my love;
there is no flaw in you.8Come with me from Lebanon, my bride;
come with me from Lebanon.
Depart from the peak of Ama'na,
from the peak of Senir and Hermon,
from the dens of lions,
from the mountains of leopards.

9You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride,
you have ravished my heart with a glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.10How sweet is your love, my sister, my bride!
how much better is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!11Your lips distil nectar, my bride;
honey and milk are under your tongue;
the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon.12A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
a garden locked, a fountain sealed.13Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates with all choicest fruits, henna with nard,14nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,
with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes,
with all chief spices -15a garden fountain, a well of living water,
and flowing streams from Lebanon.

She.Sg.4.16

16Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my garden, let its fragrance be wafted abroad.
Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits.
